Re: [TANGO-L] Tango DJs

[WHITE 95 R <white95r @HOTMAIL.COM>]

I was just reading the message about the music played in BsAs at the
milongas. It's no surprise to me to hear that it is always the same.  The DJ
could play from the same 100 or so songs and never go wrong.

I do not agree with playing non-tango or "alternative tango" music in the
milongas. No need to ruin the milonga by playing crap, particularly late
when the die hards are dancing. If one must play "non-tango" keep it brief
and make it near the middle of the milonga.

Pugliese is very good when the mood is right (could be any time), but should
not be over done or indiscriminately played. All Pugliese is not good for
dancing either. Nor should (IMHO) be played too many times too close
together.

I just came from the Christmas Milonga in Nijmegen (Hi Eric) and Robin is
right, the music played there was not very much like the music of the
milongas of BsAs. Those who prefer "alternative  tango music" might find it
much to their liking. I guess people have different tastes but to my taste,
I rather keep it more authentic. To me, it is much more pleasant and easier
to dance to the 4X4 of the golden era music. It might be that non-Spanish
speakers do not appreciate the music the in the same way. Or it could be
that some folks just do not feel the music like the milongueros do. To each
his or her own, I'm not arbiter of tango taste but for my pleasure I play
what I play and make no apologies. I cater to the milongueros who feelthe
tango the same way I do. I let the other DJs play the music that they like
for whoever they want.

Good music to all
